The Crackpot Theory of Management (And How to Escape It)
The modern world is drowning in crackpot logic. systems where people who’ve outsourced their humanity mistake their own detachment for "strategy."

The basic self-referencing logic of all currently prevalent forms of "management" is simply defunct.
Your information feed (which is very much detached from actual reality) tells you this each and every day.
From families to communities to cities to countries to world politics and all "businesses" floating and crawling around in all those things.
It's part of that same flawed logic that you should feel ashamed about ever falling for it while not having had any other options your entire life.
That same flawed logic also states that not knowing any better is enough proof of the fact that you must keep using that flawed logic.
In that same logic it's really important that this logic is the only logic and everything or anything or anyone who says there is a mistake in "the" logic is branded "illogical" and that's something to eradicate as soon as possible.
Because it obviously threatens "THE" logic.
It's basically the paradigm of 17 monkeys. And 17 comes from adding up 5 and 12.
Do you know about the story of the 5 monkeys?
(It's sort of an urban myth about a scientific experiment... and in it's simplest form it's not consistently reproduceable unless you also combine that experiment with continuous abuse of all the monkeys involved outside of the experiment as well)
So here's the scientific self-reinforcing myth of the 5 monkeys.
- There's an enclosure with 5 monkeys in it, a ladder with a banana on top of the ladder and a sadistic mechanism in place that physically hurts all the monkeys if any of them dare touch the banana.
- Before the mechanism has ever been used to punish all the monkeys, the first one that is hungry obviously goes for the banana, and they all get hurt. This goes on a few more times and pretty soon all 5 monkeys learn to leave that banana alone since they have learned that touching that banana doesn't lead to being nourished, but to being hurt. (And it stands to reason they'll be suspicious for any other banana they might encounter outside of that experiment too)
- Once all monkeys are properly trained in believing the opposite about bananas. (It's no longer food, but something dangerous) you switch out one of the "trained" monkeys with an untrained one.
- That new untrained monkey sees a banana on a ladder and goes for it when it's hungry... obviously.
The trained monkeys immediately become violent towards that strange newcomer since its attempt at going for the banana that obviously the other 4 are not interested in at all is a threat to them.
They hate the good thing now, and they've also learned that the good thing hurts everyone who thinks a banana is a bad thing so anyone who thinks a banana is a good thing will be beaten into submission. - The new monkey quickly learns that he can't make it to the banana since the 4 others will kill him before he reaches it, so he learns that the banana is a bad thing to go for and he also learns that anyone who tries to go for it needs to have his skull smashed in. But he completely didn't learn WHY that is though.
- You can switch out all 5 monkeys this way and then you'll end up with 5 monkey's in an enclosure that have now taken over the function of the initial demonic mechanism that punished them completely. They became the thing that hurt the ones that are not even in that enclosure anymore, since the original ones have all been swapped out now.
Bad things need no reason or logic. They just need repetition , enclosures and pain and once you can achieve enough of that type of control the thing sort of keeps itself alive too.
And now today , obviously we've added 12 monkey's to that.
And that's just pure and utter fiction , but it also has an incredibly important story to tell.
Remember that movie? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Monkeys
It was a movie from 1995 about what would happen if you apply faulty, uncorroborated knowledge that obviously lacks any perception of reality to a mechanism of predicting the future.
Crazy people from the future send back slaves into the past to try and figure out what went wrong and it turns out that it's their efforts to "fix" their current situation that have caused their situation. The solution to fix their situation would have been to stop being the problem.
Basically the entire movie said...
Hey... yes... we know... banana's aren't bad at all. It's the people experimenting on us that are the problem. Their "performance of a conversation"... their "performance of a solutioning"... their "without us none of this would exist , and good things are bad!" ... Those are the problem. It's not the banana's fault. And it's definitely not wrong to try and go for the banana. That's the normal part , and everything else about this enclosure is horribly wrong.
It was a pretty good movie and I suggest you all go watch it.
And if you can't watch the original... don't worry about it. Because in a couple of weeks the reboot sequal with an upgrade is going to premiere in a cinema near you!
Roll out the red carpet for this special event!
17 Monkeys!
The Metaverse multichannel 5D experience also in IMAX and a grocery store near you , all at the same time.
The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) opens on September 9, 2025.
Two weeks later, High-Level General Debate kicks off Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
All this just to say... I wouldn't expect a lot to really happen there that you don't already know.
We could all also spend all that time to work on something to go and help the 17 monkeys, in stead of just watching them do their thing.
You still have no clue what that thing to do to go help them would be?
We do.
It's this.
(and yeah... sorry... You'll have some reading to do to understand it... but even that is better then watching the 17 monkeys isn't it? So you instantly WIN from the start there :) )
And this isn't an enemy of anything.
It's not a threat to democracy.
It's not a threat to religions,
It's not a threat to either liberals or conservatives.
It's not a threat to either communists or capitalists or anything in between that.
It's just a freaking good banana that is not boobytrapped.
And please don't feel bad you once believed bananas are bad you stupid monkey. Get over it... there's no need to be ashamed either... just eat the banana. Sorry... You'll still have to peel it.
That's just part of what makes a banana a banana and that doesn't need fixing at all.
So I was wrong... this is an enemy of 1 thing though... It's the enemy of cannibalism and the plethora of ways that this disease has spread into all forms of organization today.
And that's what we meant with the sentence
"The basic self-referencing logic of all currently prevalent forms of "management" is simply defunct. "
that we started this article with.
